Hitman 2 Officially Announced; Will Be A Direct Sequel To Hitman

Hitman 2 will hopefully ideal the assassination sandbox that IO Interactive began with Hitman in 2016, according to a livestream on Twitch.

Hitman 2 was revealed with a trailer Thursday ahead of E3 showing the infamous bald assassin sabotaging a racing auto to make it spin out and kill the driver, leaving onlookers non the wiser. "Building on the success of our previous game, Hitman 2 introduces exciting new features, new modes, and franchise firsts to make for a larger and richer game", said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive. All the different options in this world of assassination means players can have practically countless playing experiences. It will have two expansions.

The game will launch on November 13th for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and you can check out the reveal trailer below, alongside the full reveal livestream (which also shows more footage from the game), and the trailer of the Sniper Assassin mode. The store page description claims Hitman 2 will take you to rainforests and sun-drenched streets in search for the elusive Shadow Client in an attempt to put an end to his militia. Pre-orders are live now.

The game will also get a Silver Edition, a Gold Edition, and a Collector's Edition. This is for the PC version of the game.

Furthermore, a standalone co-op mode called Sniper Assassin is available now as an early access pre-order bonus.

The Hitmanwebsite details the Hitman 2 Collector's Edition, which includes the base game, the Sniper Assassin mode, the swanky Executive Pack (which gives those who pre-ordered an extra pistol and suit in-game), the chance to play the game four days early on November 9, as well as Expansions 1 and 2, which promises "a new location, missions, sniper map, outfits, and weapons". We should see more information surrounding Hitman 2 at E3 2018.
